That said: if we traded Albert for a 2nd I'm pretty sure I'd have to walk down to the train tracks and drive a rusty spike into the skull of a hapless hobo...

Personally, I'd take Thomas, D'Brick, Staley, Okung, Clady, Witworth, Tyron Smith, Kalil, Duane Brown, and Jason Peters (depending on his return from injury).
Guys I lump Albert in with - Long, Beatty, Jordan Gross. I think Albert is in the 11-15 range.

Where would you rank Robert Saffold? Would you be ok with trading Albert for a 2nd and then giving the Rams a 4th for Saffold?

I think just as much as people complain of those who overrate Albert, there are just as many people who unfairly undersell him.
He's top 10. Firmly top 10. |

Who gives a crap if Albert is the 7th, 9th, 11th or 14th best LOT in the league.
He IS the 2nd or 3rd best offensive player on the Chiefs. There are literally 20+ other players on offense alone the Chiefs could replace and get a better player much more easily than replacing Albert. Assuming hypothetically that Joeckel or Fischer have a slightly higher upside that Albert (which is debatable since no draft guru is coming out and saying either guy is a Joe Thomas, etc.) does having the 3rd, 5th or 7th best LOT in the league going to be the difference between a Super Bowl winning team? You have an above average player at a key position. Keep him and improve the rest of the team.

I think the main reason that he is on the trade block was his whole outburst about refusing to play RT. I'm sure Dorsey and Reid didn't appreciate that.

In any event, as my post demonstrates, focusing on sacks allowed gives a misleading result. He ranks 2nd when you zero in on sacks allowed. He ranks 7th when you include hurries and hits (using PFF's Pass Block Efficiency). And he falls to around 13th when you include run blocking and penalties (using PFF's Overall Rating on a per snap basis). Add in the injury factor and intangibles and I'm hard-pressed to call him much more than above average.

The problem is that he's asking to be overpaid while openly stating that he will be a thorn in the coach's side if they move him anywhere but LT.
That doesn't go well with GMs, it doesn't go well with coaches, nor does it help the team. This is all coming from a guy who'd prefer we keep Albert. He's being unreasonable. |
